Peoples' Voice Cafe

CANCELLATION NOTICE SEPTEMBER 2020 MAY 2021 In mid-March, because of the covid-19 pandemic, the Peoples' Voice Cafe canceled the remainder of our September 2019 May 2020 season. While we later extended that cancellation through December 2020, we had hoped to resume our regular in-person program in January 2021. We now find that is impossible for three reasons:... The covid-19 pandemic continues to pose a danger to our volunteers, to our artists, and to our audiences. Community Church of New York, our venue, is currently closed, and we do not know when it will reopen. We do not know when New York City and New York State will permit concert venues such as ours to reopen. Furthermore, even if the restrictions are lifted, both the Peoples' Voice Cafe and Community Church of New York have decided to be exceedingly cautious and reopen slowly. Based upon these three factors, the Peoples' Voice Cafe Collective has reluctantly decided to cancel our entire September 2020 May 2021 season. We regret that we have to take this action, but the covid-19 pandemic is a force majeure, an extraordinary event that is beyond anyone's control. We will do our best to rebook the artists whose shows have been canceled, but it might take us more than a year to do so. At this point we hope to resume our regular in-person program on September 18, 2021. In the meantime we are presenting one show per month on-line as live streaming video. We are also looking into the possibility of holding a one-time special outdoor event in Spring 2021.
